The Gap in Safety Culture

Making Immigrant Culture and Language Compatible with Safety Culture

Many companies employ a large percentage of limited English proficient immigrant employees. This results in unique problems. Say 20% or more of your employees speak little English. Unless your safety program is presented to them in their own language, that 20% or more will fail to reap the benefits of a great safety program. Twenty percent or more are people likely to have costlier injuries. .

Many Immigrant workers fail to fully integrate with a well-developed safety culture. If you observe higher percentage of injuries among foreign language speaking immigrant employees, why not give us a call to see if we can help you fix the gap?

Why pay four times for one class?

If an interpreter is needed for a 10 hour or 30 construction or general industry class, OSHA requires that the interpreter be knowledgeable in safety and the class must be twice as long to cover all the information.

All employees out of work twice the time plus added cost of instructor and interpreter.
